Julia Monk
Graduate School Student
Julia Monk is a Ph.D. student in the School of the Environment. Her research focuses on the role of predator-prey interactions in driving ecosystem processes. She is currently studying how pumas, condors, and vicuñas influence nutrient cycling and productivity in the high Andean deserts of northwestern Argentina. An Argentine-American herself, Julia is grateful that her fieldwork allows her to restock her yerba mate supply and catch up on fútbol.
